[net.micro.amiga] Need help getting TYPE to not use draft mode of printer

bakken@saturn.UUCP (Dave Bakken) (08/30/86)

Whenever I TYPE a file to my Okimate 20 printer, it is done in the draft 
mode (80 cps). Does anyone know how to get it to print in the 40 cps mode
from AmigaDos?

   Changing the PRINT QUALITY selection in Preferences should do it.

   If you don't want to do that, try 

      copy * to prt:

      Then type:   <ESC>[2"z<CTRL>-\  (ignore spaces)
         (that's ESC key, [, 2, ", z, hold CTRL and press \)

      You just typed the ISO standard escape sequence for NLQ ON.
      You won't see anything on the screen while typing because
      the "copy * to prt:" has redirected the keyboard to the printer.
      The <CTRL>-\ terminates the * "file" being copied to PRT:
      and brings back normal keyboard IO and your prompt.
 
      Now, if you Type your text file to PRT:, it will be printed
      in near letter quality.
